Ice Cream Shops near South Orange

“We ordered my son’s birthday cake from SOMA Sweets about a month ago, and the entire experience exceeded expectations. Steve managed to bring my 5-year-old’s very specific “Venom cake” vision to life on short notice, and it came out better than we imagined.

He also partnered with another great local business, Bakes By Izzy, to make it happen. The cake looked incredible and tasted even better.

If you’re looking for an amazing custom ice cream cake, these are your people.“

“Great price, nice size, clean & friendly.“

“I stop by this beautiful coffee shop where I’m able to sit with my pet, and I ca tell… the food is elegant presented, the coffee amazing and I took the chance to try the matcha absolutely recommended! Adding that is difficult to find a place where I can share time with my pet sitting down!!!“

“Best ice cream shop in Essex County if not the entire state of NJ. You can taste the difference in quality, creaminess, ingredients, no artificial flavors. Small micro batches made with natural ingredients and real flavors. Great owner and staff. Very nice people who go above and beyond to help create a wonderful experience. Small space but the flavor is large. They are getting ready to launch their second storefront in Lyndhurst. Go check them out. You won’t be disappointed. Favorite flavors include: Strawberry Baklava Chocolate But all are incredibly good!“

“I went to an ice cream shop in Staten Island and it was absolutely excellent. The taste was really special, but what stood out even more was the person working there.

He is a Latino Spanish man, very polite, patient, and treats customers with great respect, kindness, and generosity. He has a wonderful personality and a really positive energy.

Honestly, if I ever go back to that place, it will be because of him as much as the ice cream itself. His attitude makes the experience even better.

I truly wish him all the best.“

“Soooo many amazing flavors“

“Have been wanting to stop for the longest time. Finally did tonight. The food was fantastic! We were lucky enough to sit in the booth reserved for The Soprano Family!!

“I was in the mood for a Mangonada and not too familiar with the area since we moved to Bayonne a year ago. We were out driving and I googled mangonada and came across M2ICE. They did not DISAPPOINT!

“We recently hired Danny’s Soft Serve Ice Cream Truck for our event, and it was absolutely perfect! I actually found them because they’re always driving around our neighborhood, and everyone gets excited when they hear that music coming down the street. So when it came time to book an ice cream truck, choosing Danny’s was a no-brainer. The service was super friendly, the ice cream was delicious, and the whole setup added such a fun vibe to our event. All of our guests, kids and adults loved it! Danny was punctual, easy to work with, and made everything feel effortless.“

“Caputo’s is hands down one of the best ice cream spots around. The ice cream is insanely creamy, super flavorful, and you can tell it’s made with real quality ingredients. Every flavor hits, whether you’re sticking with a classic or trying something new. The shop has such a friendly, welcoming vibe, and the staff is always great.“

“Thank you for sharing your delicious ice cream with our Staff for Teacher appreciation!“

“Thank you for making the BEST cake!! I came in a few hours before graduation and asked to decorate the cake on each side. The woman who decorated the cake did an amazing job!“

“Saw this gorgeous little boutique in the mall, and I had to stop in!
The presentation of the chocolates and gelatos are eye catching and organized. I love the displays for Easter and chocolate eggs are my favorite!! Especially the mini Lampone eggs. I grabbed many mix & match chocolates along the wall which are paid by weight. The employee named Angel was very kind and helpful explaining all of the options and recommending gelato flavors which made making a decision much easier for me.
I chose a gourmet baby cone with pistachio and it was scooped to perfection! I will be back for more soon :)“

“Great place love their options and the tea awesome“

“Amazingly delicious ice cream served at a perfect temperature. No matter what flavor I try it taste delicious. Service is great too.!“

“On behalf of the Mount Pleasant PTA, We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to Guerriero Gelato for their incredibly generous contribution to our recent schoolwide event. Your support played a significant role in making the event a resounding success, and we are truly grateful for your contribution to our school community. Thank you once again for your kindness and generosity, and we hope to continue working together in the future to support our students and their education.“

“It's Rita's, I mean come on, 5 stars is a guarantee. It is a snow cone, ice cream fusion. Only negative could be the fact you may have to wait in line a bit during peak hours because, well, it's that damn good 👍

“Cute little spot in the heart of downtown Little Falls. The ice cream prices are decent, around $6 for a small. The quality of the ice cream isn't bad either. There is parking in the back of the building on Old Morris Canal Lane. Worth checking out and a nice addition to Little Falls.“

“Just a little too overly cautious with the covid-19 for me but the ice 🧊 cream 🍦 was good prices and service pretty decent“

“desayunos deliciosos los batidos son frescos“

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream, and guess what? My sister and I finally visited Applegate Farm! It’s so sad that we’ve been just 8 minutes away since 1999 and never made it. But hey, better late than never! I decided to come on Father’s Day to try their Graham Central Station and Cookies and Cream flavors. They were absolutely delicious! I even went back on a solo trip a week later just to try the Graham Central Station again, which is my absolute favorite. It’s so good that I might get in trouble with these several trips I plan on doing this summer to try all of their other flavors, but hey, what’s wrong with a little treat now and then🤭? I’ll definitely be back again and again! 😋“

“el helado de chocolate con oreo“

“I had vanilla ice cream in a cone with the chocolate dip. 1 thing I can say after all these years the ice cream had not changed!!!!“

“Caught a hot day for a ride and decided to track down some gelato. Bienvenue totally delivered. The staff is super helpful, and the prices are pretty reasonable.
The best part was sitting out on Church Street to eat it. It was kind of a vibe. Great experience all around; highly recommend if you're out exploring on two wheels or two feet.“

“Best ice cream around!!! Friendly staff Very clean“

“Ralph's Famous Italian Ices lives up to its name! Delicious, refreshing, and packed with flavor — a true classic that never gets old. Great variety of flavors and a fun nostalgic vibe. Minor things keep it from 5 stars but it's an absolute must-visit, especially in the summer!“

“Great ice cream, even while waiting on line there’s a great vibe. By the way, I had the cherry vanilla!“

“Excellent service and outdoor seating“

“No contest. DQ and Last Licks are good, sometimes necessary in the pinch. But, Scoop Coop? Legendary. They just know how to nuance the nuance of soft serve...and the homemade hard flavors are consistently delicious. A sweet balance and perfect mouth feel. Service is of same high, joyful standard.“

“friendly people serve you sweet treats. it can't get any better.“

“it was good“

“Lots of flavor variety. Wish the sugar free/ NSA flavors were listed on the menu .“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem in NJ – Salaam Ice Cream Parlor is a Must-Visit
it’s a full experience. The place is vibrant, clean, and welcoming, with a unique cultural charm that sets it apart from your typical ice cream shop .
The ice cream in question? rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. Whether you’re into classic vanilla bean or want to try something new . every scoop is crafted with care and creativity. The waffle cones are crisp and honestly addictive.
What truly makes Salaam stand out is the exceptional customer service. The staff is friendly and patient. You can tell they genuinely care about the community and the people who walk up to get icecream.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Salaam Ice Cream Parlor deserves a spot at the top of your list. It’s more than a sweet treat—it’s a place that brings people together.“

“Great place! I stopped by for some ice cream and had a really good experience. The girl at the register was very polite, friendly, and helped me choose — she suggested some flavors and made the decision much easier.

The ice cream itself was delicious, you can really taste the quality and freshness. There’s a wide variety of flavors and good portion sizes.

I’ll definitely come back again and highly recommend this place 👍“
